POTSDAM -- St. Lawrence County cannabis users can now get pre-rolls, flowers, edibles and other state-licensed products delivered to their door.

The Highest Peak on Market Street in Potsdam has launched a discreet delivery service.

"We are happy we were able to get it up and running quicker than expected," said Aurora Wood, one of the shop's co-owners. "We are still trying to get the word out."

The Highest Peak delivery service will deliver cannabis products out as far as Malone, Gouverneur, Massena, Ogdensburg and Colton.

"There is a delivery fee and a minimum purchase," Wood said. Fees for delivery in Potsdam are $5. The shop charges $10 for deliveries outside of town.

"The vehicle we will be using for delivery is discreet. It won't have pot leaves painted all over it. It looks like any car. It's not screaming 'You are getting a cannabis delivery,'" Wood said.

"Even though we are working on getting rid of the stigma associated with cannabis, there is still a sort of stigma with it," she said.

Cannabis products delivered to customers will be in plain paper bags as well.

Wood said she and co-owner Kinsey LaPointe first considered a delivery service using employees' vehicles, but quickly pivoted to buying a dedicated company car and scheduled route days due to the insurance cost.

Customers can place orders online through www.highestpeakny.com at any time, but delivery to specific communities happens only on certain designated days.

On Monday-Thursday from 2-7 p.m., Friday from 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Saturday from 4-10 p.m., and Sunday 4-7 p.m. deliveries will be made to Potsdam, Canton, Hannawa Falls, Stockholm Center, Norwood, Norfolk, Raymondville, Colton and Parishville.

Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Monday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. deliveries go out to Massena, Brasher, North Lawrence, Chase Mills, Waddington and Madrid.

On Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Tuesday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., The Highest Peak will deliver to Ogdensburg, Heuvelton, Rensselaer Falls and Lisbon.

Deliveries to Gouverneur, Richivlle, DeKalb and DePeyster go out on Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Wednesday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Customers in Malone, Bangor, Brushton, Moira and Hopkinton can receive deliveries on Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Thursday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

All cannabis products are shipped in a locked case installed inside the car and the delivery person keeps track of all deliveries and shipped products with a transportation manifest. Those purchasing the products must be 21 or older, show ID and sign for the delivery.

Overall, The Highest Peak has been enjoying steady business since it opened last month.

"We are thankful for the steadiness. And we are looking forward to the boost with the students coming back. We really are appreciating the feedback we are getting back," Wood said.
